And it's all told from the point of view of Jack the Ripper's dog Snuff.
The Gahan Wilson illustrations are excellent.

I'm guessing that isn't the Richard Laymon Lonesome October (another book I meant to list) but the Zelazny one? I haven't read it yet, but I do like the description you gave. It's a shame there doesn't appear to be an e-book version yet.
